111

DRUMROLL....... As of this week the total number of Love to Breathe necklaces that have sold is yes 111!!!!!

111 necklaces sold x $10 donated= $1,110.00 donated
Just think .90 cents of every dollar donated is going to fund research to find that sought after cure for Cystic Fibrosis!!! 

Click here to go to Lissa's Etsy site to purchase your Love to Breathe necklace. Remember LOVE day is right around the corner and she just added a new unisex necklace so the guys won't feel left out! 

Thank you to everyone who already has one and wears it proudly. Your love and support mean the world to me! I have the one in the first pic and wear it daily! I love it! Not to mention it makes the perfect gift! 

Lissa I also want to thank you!! Without you none of this would be possible. You are so talented and your compassion for this cause has been awe-inspiring! Thank you for being so fabulous! Xo

We Are In The Green!!

See what a lil rain and snow can do!!! Woop, Woop I am off of house arrest! It got so bad Friday night the visibility was horrible you could barely see the car in front of you! 

I started a new serious workout regime last week. I completed it Mon and Tues and then had to stop because of the air. I was pretty shocked since I was working out inside, but I guess the particulate levels that we reached were so high that it made the carbon monoxide levels high. Needless to say it made me wheezy all day on Tues. So today I am excited to get back in the swing of things! I got a new trainer.... she happens to train Madonna too! ;) If you need a new workout go get Tracy Anderson's dvd its rockin and it's a hard one, my arms still feel like noodles and it was almost a week ago that I did it. But just think soon my arms will look like Madge's :) 

Happy Monday!

Still Unhealthy...

Hopefully tomorrow we are getting a small storm and this weekend we are getting hit so my house arrest is almost up! Thank goodness I am running out of projects. Of course I could clean and do some organizing but who wants to do that... This is a pic of Downtown Salt Lake if you look closely you can see all the tall buildings in the mix of the haze. Its from the web cam off of www.airnow.gov



"Love to Breathe" paintings

Here are a couple of my "Love To Breathe" paintings the lighting isn't very good when I snapped the shots but you get the idea...

A great day to be on house arrest!



It's official I am on house arrest!! Yesterday was disgusting out, the particulate matter climbed to 153. If you check a couple posts back you can see that anything over 50 is UNHEALTHY! We are currently at 119 today and climbing, so I am staying inside. The pic above I took from my car window as I was driving home yesterday from the grocery store. Usually you can see the mountains in the background. 

Some interesting facts on the news yesterday were;

  • Yesterday Utah had the worst air in the Nation.
  • 15 minutes outside and it is equivalent to smoking 2 packs of cigarettes. (GAG)


I am watching the Inauguration.... Wow! It's so Amazing how many people are there. I keep getting the chills.... Today is a GREAT day to make History! How great would it be to be there? However it looks cold, plus I am sure I am getting a better view on my television. This is definitely going to be a "where were you when" moment!!!!

Gramma brought over a bone... Yes one bone. I guess she forgot there is two grandpugs here but it was a rawhide and I usually don't let the babies have that. I was sitting with Oscar when I was beginning to wonder where Lilly was well I found her with the bone. I was laughing so hard it was all over her nose her nose was all white and it wouldn't come off.

 
Can you see all the white??? I had to scrub it off! Oscar is thinking he is glad Gramma only brought over 1 :)

Memory Monday


I got this idea from Cindy over at Cure Cf for Reilly

Since you guys loved the baby pic of Osc so much I thought I would post some more baby pics.....



Oscars 1st Halloween....
The day Lills came to live with us... Osc is checking things out.
He probably smells his biological parents... Lilly was from the second litter so they are brother and sister in real life not just in my lil world :)

Baby Lills....

I took her everywhere in this handbag...

One Lovely Blog Award

I received the "One Lovely Blog Award" from my new cysta Heidi
She received the gift of life 7 years ago when she got her new twins and she has an incredible husband Matt and a very cute fur baby Roxy.

So Here is the Skinny.....

It is to be given to your new bloggy friends, and they are to pass it along to their new bloggy friends. It should go to those who step outside their comfort zone, and make new bloggy friends.



I pass it along to;

An Incredible CF momma to a beautiful lil girl named Mackenzie she just found me last night I can't wait to get to know her better.

I have known Patty most my life, her along with her sisters use to babysit me and our families have grown up together. We haven't seen each other for a while but she found me in bloggy world and we have been reconnected. She has a great blog, a beautiful family, and she is always sharing her knowledge on all the latest and greatest things life has to offer! 

My new fabulous Cysta from down under she lives in Oz (Australia) and has an incredible attitude and outlook on life... I love my Lils

Emilee over at Miracles Happen 
(Her blog is set to private but I wanted to pass it along to my New Cysta who found me. We have the same doc and hang out at the same joint, and it is so crazy we have not known about each other before. We are a lot alike and we have a ton in common! Xo Ems)

This was the air I breathed today...

Unfortunately there are no storms in sight to clean out this crappy air! SLC was 114 today and it was an action day! It is only going to get worse by the end of the week that means its looking like house arrest. Maybe if I dress up in my ski gear and do a snow dance it will snow. Hmmm I'll keep you posted! You can check you air quality at www.airnow.gov
